Hello!
Bought my first house a few months ago and I'm fitting my first new double socket in the spare room.
My issue is that I thought I had correctly connected the socked to the junction box there was no power. Other devices pluged in to the ring main function as expected (drill etc). Uprooting the floor boards determined that there is a junction box in the landing, all I have done is run a cable from the new socket in the wall into the junction box. I can't understand why there is no power to this; (although I have assumed that its okay to take the spur from this - maybe I've broken the ring).
Could anyone have any suggestion? I'm new to all of this so please bear with me
Many thanks, Johno.
